Q: What do Texas and Texas A&M students have in common?
A: They both applied to Texas
Other shared characteristics:
1) Neither can explain to outsiders the logic behind aggy turditions
2) Both schools having winning records at Kyle Field
3) They have November symmetry: aggy didn't beat an FBS opponent this November, and Texas didn't lose to one.
4) Both aggy and Longhorn faithful were overjoyed when A&M hired Fisher as HFBC
5) Both schools helped Duke with QB/HFBC transfers this year
6) Both schools have fight songs about The University of Texas

His ankle is not going to heal significantly between now and Saturday. If the only word out there that his sprain is mild comes from his camp, it could be that they are playing a little loose with the word "mild." For a one-off situation like this, I would think about shooting his ankle up with Naropin. It wouldn't fix anything, but it might block most of his pain enough to let him move and protect himself better. The problem is that then he might want to keep going on successive weeks, bolstered by reiterations of "the shot."

Mack Brown won 2 conference championships in 16 years at Texas and turned the knife in our back on his way out the door. Unless Mack had some special role in recruiting Vince Young or some brilliant input that game-planned the Horns into our only national title under his leadership, I am not sure his egregious failures and betrayal are outweighed by his accomplishments. Winning the B12 less than one year in 5 at Texas is failure-level coaching. I am grateful for what success we did have during his tenure. Add in, though, the painful rebuild his late years necessitated, and he basically gave us 2-3 years of championship-level success out of 2 decades. One might argue that another coach could have matched that, given our inherent advantages. He was basically an also-ran coach. He never beat FSU until this, their year of total collapse. He usually lost to OU. I don't hate MB or anyone else, but he wore out his welcome here.

Soul-crushing victory for the Horns. I don't know the numbers, but we will wound their psyches as deeply as is possible when demolishing the dreams of backwoods, anencephalic, disingenuous, ovinophilic, coat-tail-riding coelenterates (hat-tip to you-know-who). In the spirit of the contest, I offer 37-17 with 250 passing yards.

OK my assumption was they would never leave out the Big 12 conf champ but I guess who knows.
There may be some hesitation to leave out a P4 champ, and I think the assumption was that they would certainly all be in the top 5. The rules allow them to be excluded, however, and it would be hilarious.

As I understand it, there is a path for 7-4 Baylor to make the B12 CG. They need to beat Kansas, and for UCF, OSU, ASU, UH, TCU, KSU and WVU to win.
If that were to happen, and Baylor were to win the CG, Baylor would not get the 1st round bye. A G5 champ would. Question- could a second G5 champ (AAC champ?) displace the B12 champ?As the rules as written, yes

And, he could have gotten in his own head, too.
Yes. Reading between the lines he has grade I (microscopic-level tears) sprain of his ankle. It does not make the ankle less stable. It hurts and can lead to enough swelling as a natural response (especially when he is actually playing on it) that it becomes stiffer and even more painful. Wrapping it well before the game and between series and popping a few Advil might be enough to let him function as well as he did before the most recent injury.

At this point Sark has had two years to get Arch, by almost all accounts 5-star material, ready. If he isn't ready, that is quite an indictment of our supposed QB-guru HFBC. Much more of an indictment than the inability to keep a freshly re-injured starter as the guy. Is Arch such a huge recruiting and development miss that he can't outplay an injured pocket passer who lacked a credible long-ball threat before getting hurt? Don't let the CCG or CFP be Arch's first tough start.

The results that are reported will depend on whether Sark intends to start him. If it "just shows a sprain," that means Sark intends to play him. If he has (at least) "partially torn ligaments," this is Sark's cover to let Arch have a go. The two are the quite literally (no internet diction adjustment required) the same condition, and Quinn has what I have described.
EDIT the MRI may some other things as well, but overall his doc probably pretty much knows what it will show.
